Introduction

i Welcome to your VCR owner's man- : ual. This manual was designed for

you. When looking through it, it will

: help you to keep several things in : mind.

One, this manual is divided into four sections. The Getting Started section guides you through the initial setup

and simple operations of your VCR. The Operating Your VCR section shows you all of the controls of the

VCR and remote control and

explains on-screeh displays. The Doing More section guides you

through the more advanced features of your VCR. Finally, the Information You May Need section

provides information you may or may not need - other hookups, for

example, and trouble checks.

Two, the instructions follow a simple

format. Detailed steps explaining operations are on the outside edges

of pages. Illustrations accompanied by brief steps explaining operations

are on the inside edges of pages. Additional information can be found

in boxes labeled NOTES along the lower edges of pages.

Finally, never be afraid to try a fea-

ture! You cannot hurt your VCR by trying any of the features in this

manual!

So read on - and relax.

IBefore doing anything else, record the 1

VCR_ model and serial numbers in the]

spaces provided on page two. These hum- ] bers will help us assist you if you ever call ]

for help. ]

the clock. With manual clock setting, you tell the VCR the current time. The

VCR then adjusts thetime accordingly. With automaticclock setting, the VCR

tions under either manual clock setting or automatic clock setting (page 11) to

set the VCR's clock. Make sure:

• The VCR is hooked up and turned on, and channels are programmed into the

VCR's memory.

• The VCR is in VCR position (see pages

15-17).

• You make each entry within 60 seconds of the previous entry (otherwise, the

VCR will exit Clock Set mode and you will have to start over).

• You have correctly chosen TV or CABLE TV at the TUNER SET UP

menu.

Press two Number buttons for the hour(s) and two Numberbuttons for

the minute(s). Then press 1 for AM or 2 for PM. For example, for 2:15 PM, press 02, 15, 2.

• Enter a 0 before a single digit num-

bet.

Entries that do not match the VCR's internal calendar will cause a ques-

tion mark (?) to appear on-screen. To make corrections, press the CLEAR button until the space for

the number you want to correct is flashing. Then enter the correct

number.
